Why was there no live broadcast of the third Country Garden Cup Chess Competition?
Country Garden Cup Chess Competition is not the highest level.
Although the Country Garden Cup Chess Competition is the national champion and the prize money is the highest, the competition level is not the highest. In addition to Xu Yinchuan, Hong Zhi, Jiangchuan, Sun Yongzheng and Zhao Xinxin, who are at the highest level of chess, Zhao Guorong, Yu Youhua, Liu Dahua and Tao Hanming are all old, Xu Tianhong and Lv Qinjiu have retired from the battlefield, and Hu Ronghua and Li Laiqun are keen on playing chess. Except for the above five people, none of them can represent the highest level of chess today, and there is no latest research result, just a gathering of national champions.
The highest level competition may still be the national competition of the players who scored the top ten or the top fifteen or twenty that year.
I hope my answer is helpful to you!
